Merry New Year, Film Lovers!

‘Merry New Year’ is something that has always stuck with me since the moment I seen TRADING PLACES. I’ve been using it ever since. Come to think of it, there’s a great Christmas movie nobody really thinks about. Aykroyd as wasted, stealing, Santie Clause? You don’t remember him eating that bread he stole, then eating it on the bus through that disgusting Santa beard? Classic. Vivid. Then he tried to kill himself.

Probably not a film for a young lad as I was back in the mid 80’s but I got to walk to a video store everyday and get whatever I wanted. Simple Ohio.

20 plus years later… not too much has changed but my location, Los Angeles, California. It seemed like the only destination for an obsessed film nerd like me. It also seems that there are others that had the same feeling and have migrated here as well. 8 years later, here I still am, and I’m not leaving. That’s a big choice, a big decision, but when it’s the only place you feel comfortable, embrace it.

What I’m saying is, we LOVE you Los Angeles, and all of the passionate film hearts inside of you! This is the best place to be in America for the love of cinema, film and repertory programming!

Enjoy your holidays everyone, and of course… THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

Speaking of support: We’re still trying to get to 10,000 signatures by the New Year! Join our favorite Julia Marchese in her FIGHT FOR 35MM! We highly urge you all to sign it. Digital does not rule all, we need film just like we need water. If that wasn’t true then Martin Scorsese wouldn’t be the head of film preservation.
